A birthday gift to my wife, a pair of MM6501 Polk Audio Component speakers. She has been complaining or offering negitive freedback in a positive way about the sound quality in her 2012 Matrix AWD. Those front door speaker locations are so low, limitations are many, namely sound quality.
The Polk Audio MM6501 were a breeze to install once you figured out how everything was going to come together. Just follow the magic picture from the guide. I dynomaxed the speaker enclosure and installed a foam lining before installation of the speakers. The tweeter I installed surface mount, one hole for the wire, alittle silicone and a screw. Pop in the tweeter and your away. She is running an Alpine 105 head unit with the 45w x 4 additional alpine amp. Infinity 6.5 inch in the rear doors adds a nice addition to the Polk Audio.
Well, I finished the install just as she came out to bring me a coffee, so we cranked her up for the first listen. OH MY GOD, truly amazing difference, sounds so much better. She is so happy. Happy Wife, Happy Life. I have ordered an additional pair for my Tacoma, can't wait.
